WOMEN’S INSTITUTE. (“Times-Age” Special.) As Tuesday afternoon was wet and cold the Women’s Institute held its monthly meeting at the home of Mrs A. Forsberg, Mauriceville West. The drawing-room was decorated with lovely autumn flowers and a bright log fire helped to make the atmosphere cheerful. Mrs H. Freeman presided over a good attendance. ’ Two new members were enrolled. A report of the Federation meeting held at Carterton was read. An amusing drawing competition was won by Mrs J. Duncan, Miss A. McGovern being second. A demonstration of faggoting given by Mrs I. D. Cameron was watched with much interest.
